Arrests Follow Transsexual's Murder
Police searching for the killer of a transsexual who was found strangled to death at home have arrested two people.
An 18-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman were arrested in south London and are being held at a police station in the area.
Kellie Telesford, 40, was found dead at her flat in Thornton Heath in south London on November 21. Friends had raised concerns for her welfare.
Miss Telesford, named Kayiode Dexter Telesford, had been living as a woman for several years.
She was known to frequent gay and lesbian venues in Croydon and Brixton and police had appealed for anyone who had any contact with Kellie between November 15 and 21 to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons said: "We would also like to speak to anyone who knew or who has had a relationship with Kellie to help us build a picture of her lifestyle."
Mr Lyons also stressed that the help of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community was vital in the investigation.
He said: "I would also like to reassure all parts of the community affected by Kellie's murder that our dedicated team of detectives are committed to finding the person responsible.
"It should be stressed though that we have not seen any further incidents similar to Kellie's murder."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on: 0208 721 4205 or Crimestoppers anonymously on: 0800 555 111.
